When I think, I cry. When I cry, I remember
Remembering the pain of loneliness and Isolation
When I'm alone, I hurt myself. When I hurt myself I feel alive
Alive, like the mountains, like the forests, like the oceans
All hope has wilted, reverie is dead
The darkness takes over, Inside my head
But sorrow holds no fear, sadness is a comfort
Ending the torture, embracing eternity
If I killed myself tonight, the moon would still shine
The stars would still appear, and dreams would still give hope
And the sun would still return, the earth would still rotate
And the colours of changing seasons would still inspire joy
So why not?
So why not?

An owls call echoes through the ruins' walls
No other sound is heard in the gloom
Outside the green trees whisper, waiting to be answered
Cries from afar interrupt the silence.
The ivy covered stone holds stories from long ago
They will again one day be told and treasured
This is a dark place, though green and unspoiled
Forgotten are it's secrets, forgotten are it'stales
The brooding guardians of forgotten secrets stand
Forever unrelenting, watching, listening.
The ivy covered stone holds stories from long ago
They will again one day be told and treasured

Ashes fall through the air, from burning hope
Desolation reigns in my heart, no light left
Souls drift away, through air thick with woe
Misery stokes my fire, sorrow fans the flames
Green is the colour of my eyes, black is the colour of my heart
My boat is lined with the skin of the fallen
My oars are cold bleached bones
Place me a sixpence in your mouth, for I must collect my fare
It's time to take your trip across the river
And you must now rest your eyes
Your souls are my fire.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE
supported by 11 fans who also own “The Isolation Sessions”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...

This'll do once the brutal ND winter hits. Icy riffs, icy guitar tone.
